Antisynthetase syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1572057936

Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is characterised by an inflammatory myositis associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and antisynthetase antibodies. Other symptoms, including arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon and mechanic's hands, are also associated with ASS. Several antisynthetase antibodies have been described, with anti-Jo1 being the most common.
